People always want more space to organize their things. Of course, seeing more space creates an illusion that the room is indeed bigger. However, most rooms, especially those that are rented like in dorm aren’t that blessed when it comes to the covered perimeter. Worry no more, here are some useful tips that would help you in making your space less cluttered and more comfortable.
Maximizing the Space in Your Tiny Room
As a place where we sleep, we always desire a room that is cozy and refreshing to the eyes. Our suggestions below will surely aid you in maximizing your tiny room.
Store Shoes under Your Bed
It’s not just limited to shoes! You can even store your books, magazines, and other small stuff that can fit under the bed.
First things first: instead of displaying your shoes in a shoe rack that takes a significant amount of space, it would be more practical if you use the space under your bed. Some renters even have the trick of raising their beds to fit large storage containers!
Go Vertical
Stacking is one of the methods you must do especially when the situation demands it. This involves hanging shelves, baskets, or installing hooks on unused walls.
It can also involve using the top of your cabinet as extra storing space for your least used items. Exploit your walls without making them stuffed before covering the floor area!
Redesign Your Closet
Our closets are one of those special areas in our room where we can store our important stuff. That’s why it’s important to maximize your closet space very well to store other things aside from clothes.
When organizing your closet, pick out the clothes that you no longer wear so that you can bring them back home later on. If your landlord doesn’t allow their renters to drill holes in their closet, you can try this tip: put on heavy duty but removable hooks on your closet door and hang a tie hanger.
Another alternative is a long hanger regarding its length for your scarves, ties, etc. There’s also a purchasable rack where the hooks hang atop of the closet door, so there’s no need for screws and drillers. You can use the same trick above for your door.
Store Magazines and Books Directly Under Your Chair
If you want more storage space, why not try under where you sit? Indeed you can use your chairs as your storage space for books and other stuff without taking too much floor space.
There are now furniture shops that sell chairs that are multi-functional, like, removable the top to reveal a hollow space below. You just have to pick a design that you would be most comfortable sitting.
Coordinate with Your Roommate
Most of the rented spaces especially college dorm rooms are shared by at least two people. Bringing two of the same thing like microwave ovens, coffeemakers, and other appliances would consume a lot of space.
The best solution here is to talk with your roommate as to who brings stuff inside the rented room for functional use. What’s more, both of you get to establish camaraderie!
Conclusion
There are more ways to use your space more efficiently without looking messy aside from the tips we shared. It’s now up to your creativity as to what other tricks you can pull out your sleeve to make your tiny room more livable with your essentials organized properly.
